Professionals in the field of eye care can make use of this cutting-edge gadget to assess the corneal curvature and power for use in calculating the power of cataract lenses.
This approach instantly determines the cornea’s steepness and flatness as well as its average radius of curvature (Avg R, R1, R2), power (Avg K, K1 and K2), and axis. An tool called an ophthalmometer or keratometer is used to measure the curvature of the anterior corneal surface and determine the degree and axis of astigmatism.
By using the relationship between object size, the size of the image reflected, and the distance between the object and the keratometer, a keratometer measures the thickness of the cornea by reflecting an image off of two locations in the cornea. As a result, the cornea’s minimum and maximum curvature values are determined.
The several types of manual keratometers are Javal Schiotz, Bausch & Lomb, and Helmholtz keratometers. In addition to automated keratometers, there are also surgical and operative keratometers.
The Global handheld keratometer market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
HandyRef-K of Nidek’s The portable Handheld Refractometer or keratometer provides precise refraction and keratometry measurements whenever and wherever needed.The HandyRef-K has great weight distribution and is lightweight. Its small size makes it simple to grip, balance, and utilise.
The new 3.5-inch colour LCD with full graphics is larger than the previous design. High user-friendliness is provided through a clear display arrangement and clear icons. In the primary body memory, 50 patients’ measurement data (100 eyes) can be stored.
The recently added melodic role can reduce anxiety in individuals with little experience, such as children, and attract attention. Data may be rapidly and simply transferred to PCs and NIDEK RTs. There are two common fixation targets: scenery and children.
The Nidek HandyRef keratometer can be utilised as desktop devices by utilising the mobile stand.SynchroScan Technology, a fantastic new measurement technique, was adopted by the HandyRef-K.
Measurements start when the alignment starts and lock the data if the alignment reaches its maximum value as a dimension. The characteristics of this HandyRef-K enable straightforward, precise measurements while preserving effectiveness.
